A Few Changes...

Hello! Thank you for your comments on my handmade card tutorial and also last week's Show and Tell! Speaking of Show and Tell, I have decided to pass along the hosting fun to someone else. The main reason is that after 3 1/2 years I have shared almost all of my special treasures!

I'm also taking a blogging break. I just need to recharge a bit. I will still be reading blogs though, and I'm only an email away.

I'm happy to announce that Cindy at My Romantic Home will be taking over Show and Tell Friday. I know she will do a great job and I hope you will stop by and welcome her!

It seems like a lot of the bloggers I read regularly are taking a break or slowing down a bit. I guess it can become more of a chore after you have been at it for so long. Thinking of you and your sweet family...hope you are recharged soon!!

Kelli, I have enjoyed your weekly Show and Tell and you will be missed. I have loved all your treasures! Stay in Touch, for I love seeing you around. Share some of your wonderful cooking on Foodie Friday. I love the breads you have made and so willing given the recipes. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Take care! I will be on a break too, for I go to surgery on Oct 21 and will be there for a couple of weeks. Stop by and leave me a comment sometimes. Every time I look at my Little Women Journal I think of you. I love it so much. Blessing Lady Katherine

Kelli, I have enjoyed reading your blog and trying your wonderful recipes. I will MISS you, but I understand the need for a break... I Homeschool my three children and wish I had the time to make cards like you do. You are so talented. Get some rest. We can't wait for you to come back to your "blog world"!!Brenda in Maine

Thank you for your nice blog on things of the home! I have enjoyed your work and recipes. I understand you taking a break. Times to "Be Still" in other things are such worthy precious times...thank you again ..nancy

Dear Kelli - I think you deserve a break! You've given so much to us over the past couple of years that I've been blogging and I'm sure it's been hard at times. Thank you for all you have done to let us share and show and learn and grow! You are leaving Show and Tell in very capable hands. Have a good break and don't forget to come back to check in once in awhile - we'll miss you while you're away.~Adrienne~

Kelli!You are the reason I started blogging! I did not even know what a blog was until I "googled" spring front porch and it brought me to you!! I have been a faithful reader and will miss your posts very much. Will you please pop in with a recipe or idea every onece in a while?~Nancy

You will definantly be missed, but I totally understand the "needing a break to recharge" bit!! Will miss seeing your different posts full of fun ideas, wonderful tips, great recipes, and so forth. Take your time recharging. Heaven knows we could use a break now and again. :o)

Your blog is the first thing I read each day when I log on to my computer at work. Your Christ-like spirit is an inspiration to me. You truly model what a Christian wife and mother should be like. I hope you recharge and come back soon. You will truly be missed.

Can you see me in the corner with my arms folded & my lip stuck out! Kelli I wouldn't have started a blog if it wasn't for you and Revee! I miss you both! I miss our chats at OFT! Why do things have to change!

I just wanted to let you know that I thought of you today when I put out my autumn tablecloth and made some beautiful lace curtains to go with it. I know you would love them. Your blog is very inspiring, and you are, too. I hope that you get the much deserved rest you need. Please come back soon!

Dear Kelli,I have just returned to the blogging world myself after a long break. Just want to say I have always enjoyed your show & tell and have been inspired by your decorating, recipes, and creativity. I know that all these things take a lot of time and thought and I want you to know how much I've appreciated it. You have been a bright ray of sunshine for us ladies in a trying world.May our Lord bless you and refresh you, and give you many days of enjoyment with your family! Blessings to you!Claudia O.

Dear Kelli,I want to thank you for your inspirational blog - and to say that I hope you will return to it when the time is right. I live in Northern Ireland, and wanted to post this to let you know that you have inspired people in so many parts of the world. I have been so delighted by your blog - it has encouraged me to make more cards and other gifts - and to celebrate the beauty of each new season more than ever before. Here is a poem I found the other day which I am using with my classes this coming week (I am an English teacher and Thursday will be National Poetry Day with us). It points out the beauty in each new season of life:

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,this is the best season of your life.

I hope that this new season is a wonderful one for you.God bless and thank you,ElizaXO

((Kelli)) ~ Enjoy your break; a change of focus is refreshing. I find I break (unintentionally) more than I blog nowadays ... The abundance of life just has a way of spilling over. :o)

I wanted to let you know how much my Bridget loves your card making posts. She received oodles of her own card making supplies for her tenth birthday (back in July) and spent quite some time on your blog soaking up your techniques. :o)

Hi Kelli!Yes, you deserve a break!Your blog has been such a blessing to me.I have met many people through your blog and S&T Friday's.I hope you keep posting a new recipe or treasure you find once in a while.God bless you and your family.

I can totally understand the need for a break. But I hope you aren't going to completely stop blogging.--It seems that several of my favorite bloggers have left the blog world and I just can't bear to lose another favorite. (o:

I really enjoy your photos, recipes and snippets of life that you share, thank you for all that you do.

Welcome! My name is Kelli and I am originally from Canada, but now enjoy living in Texas with my three teenagers.
I'm a work-at-home mom and in my spare time I love to decorate, thrift store treasure hunt, bake, and celebrate the four seasons.
Please join me as I share photos and stories, along with some recipes and favorite things thrown in for good measure!
